Hooray! JourneyQuest season 3 is an official selection for both Seattle WebFest and Vanounver WebFest! If you’re in the area for either of these fests, make sure you catch our showings. And congrats to all the other participants… check out all the selected shows at Seattle WebFest 2017 and Vancouver WebFest 2017.

And, hey, the new poster looks pretty dang incredible too! (Have I mentioned how much I love my costumes in season 3?)

Hi, my name is Emilie, and I’m not a funny person.
See, there are funny people and there are those of us who are surrounded BY funny people.

We, the unfunny, we have other qualities. Smart, maybe. Amusing and good conversationalists, check and check. Most of us learn very early to be connoisseurs of punchlines, and we are excellent straight-men. But somehow, we are still the ones whose jokes at the party are much funnier when someone else delivers them… 30 seconds later and more loudly. And most of the time, we don’t mind our perpetual unfunniness. Because we like funny, and we seek out the funny people, and frankly — like everyone else, funny or un — we also just love to laugh.

BUT WHAT IF…

What if we, the comedically stunted, DISCOVERED our funny? Think about it. What if you got the chance to test drive funny like a shiny new Camaro, for a day, a week? Could you uncover something uniquely you, deep in your unfunny being you had forgotten or discounted or just flat-out ignored? Could you mine some unknown internal wealth of funny for actual… LAUGHS?

Like I said, it’s a delightful little romantic tune on how to weather the impending holiday/zombie apocalypse. And there are tasty rhymes like…

(My sister will be suspicious) I don’t want to seem malicious(My brother will be there at the door) But your family wasn’t ready for war(My maiden aunt’s mind is vicious) And human flesh is nutritious(But maybe just a cigarette more) For resurrected anthropovores

Plus there are all kinds of other thoroughly irreverent, holiday-inspired things, like “Do you want to be a Bro, Man?” and “The Night Before Christmas as told by the Purple Ninja.”

I blogged about the photoshoot a few months back, with several of my own BTS pics, but somehow I missed the finished video! There are, of course, lots of BTS shenanigans, which is always fun, but also some neat sneak peeks into how the “glitter shirts” were applied (lots of glue) and interviews with the ever-amazing head of Espionage Cosmetics, Jamie Cordero (aka, @TheGlitterJedi). You also see me eating things and giggling and making silly poses while covered in glitter… in other words, an intimate look at my everyday life.

Espionage is currently en route to San Diego Comic Con, where they are going to be incredibly busy and important. Keep your eyes open for their big announcement coming soon!

RockLab plays the Bowl Stage at Taste of Tacoma THIS FRIDAY 6/27, 4PM!

Start the weekend out right and make your way to Point Defiance Park for the annual Taste of Tacoma food fair & music festival! My band, RockLab (www.rocklabtacoma.com) is slated to play at 4pm at the Bowl Stage.

I’m stoked for this gig– it’s our first outing with our new guitarist and under our new(ish) branding. As RockLab, we’re focused on “Rock n’Roll Experimentation”… musical mash-ups of amazing songs. I won’t spoil all the surprises, but lets just say Adele and Rocky Balboa are one helluva pairing. Buhm. Buhm buhm BUHM. I’m still sore from all the crazy dancing at rehearsal last night.
